Mavetherave
5/1
ZUZUKEL shaped well under a change of tactics when narrowly denied in a Punchestown handicap hurdle last time and may be able to take advantage of the weight he receives from Gordon Elliott's dual hurdle winner Spinola Bay. Mavetherave may prove best of the remainder.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Spinola Bay might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as Youlita usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
Individual Price Hint: Jazz Forever traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 25% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 4 starts: Beckistine has traded at 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
